Here\u2019s how outsourcing engineers<\/strong>\u2014the right way\u2014helped a top FinTech scale without chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n LUSID is a powerful asset management API that lets financial institutions turn scattered data into smart strategy. Built by a technically strong team in the UK, the backend was never the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But the front-end experience<\/strong>? It wasn\u2019t working. Clunky interface. Limited usability. No in-house design muscle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What they needed wasn\u2019t just developers\u2014it was Angular engineers<\/strong> with product design skills who could build user-facing systems with clarity, speed, and precision. More precise information on the project can be found in our LUSID Case Study<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n LUSID didn\u2019t want random freelancers. They needed a partner who could:<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s where Code & Pepper<\/strong> came in\u2014with a ready-to-go, pre-vetted team of outsourced engineers<\/strong> specializing in Angular software development services<\/strong>, UX, and product design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The project started with one product designer and two Angular developers. But like many fast-scaling FinTechs, needs evolved quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With IT staff augmentation<\/strong>, the team could scale up without red tape. More features? Add developers. Design changes? Bring in UX. The Code & Pepper team expanded as the product did\u2014on demand, without long-term contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This agility meant the internal UK team could stay lean and focused, while outsourced IT support<\/strong> took care of delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This wasn\u2019t about shipping tickets offshore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Code & Pepper integrated into Finbourne\u2019s workflow using Scrum<\/strong>, which made progress trackable, communication structured, and pivots smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite being based in different countries, the teams worked like one unit. That\u2019s the difference between good outsourcing\u2014and good outsourcing partners<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n IT outsourcing services<\/strong> often get reduced to \u201ccheap developers.\u201d That\u2019s not what this was. This was about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n By choosing outsourced IT services<\/strong>, Finbourne avoided:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead, they shipped a fully revamped, customer-friendly version of LUSID\u2014on time and with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2705 Angular (front-end development) \u201cWe have used a variety of skill sets provided by Code & Pepper including UX design, development. We have also found using their Scrum process to be very beneficial to measuring the progress of the project. We are happy to recommend Code & Pepper as a partner.\u201d<\/em> If you\u2019re building\u2014or rebuilding\u2014a SaaS platform, especially in FinTech, here\u2019s what this case shows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you need Angular engineers<\/strong>, product design<\/strong>, or just a team who knows how to move fast in finance\u2014IT staff augmentation<\/strong> can be the lever that lets you scale without the stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Code & Pepper has helped dozens of FinTechs and HealthTechs scale quickly with top 1.6% engineering talent. Whether it\u2019s outsourced engineers<\/strong>, IT outsourcing services<\/strong>, or full support from idea to delivery, we\u2019ve done it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Talk to us if you need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s build smarter, faster, together.
